I originally found these Van's shoes at a nearby Van's outlet store. When I saw these black and cognac leather shoes, I knew I needed both pairs. Unfortunately, the store didn't have my size 11 in any color. So I went to Revain and in fact they had the same shoes in my size. I placed an order right away. The black pair arrived today and I am very happy with them. I especially like that the shoe is all leather and the contrasting laces are a really nice touch. If you are interested in these shoes, I strongly encourage you to place your order as early as possible as stocks are running low. These are great shoes.
